VIXENS, MAGICIANS, SINNERS, AND SAINTS

On this platform we all gather with our words and our paints

Creating a family; lost siblings with souls that must sing out a word

All of us giving a scream, a whisper, a cry or a laugh that must be heard

Leaving a legacy so our spirits won't be lost in this all too real world!

This is for D.K.'s Unofficial Challenge:

    Excellent acrostic… well deserved Honourable Mention! “ All of us giving a scream, a whisper, a cry or a laugh that must be heard”… Good summary of our variety of voices & sentiments.
